Josh and I officially got the house! 
3 Bedrooms, 2 Full baths 
Sunroom, W/D, dishwasher, fenced in backyard 
We get to paint the walls and I'm going to have a little garden. 
Josh is going to have his own music room and I am going to decorate the guest bedroom. 

This weekend was nice. 
We drove down to Savannah on Thursday. 
We hung out with friends and caught up.
I made Sangria...4 times? 
Yesterday Josh and I had a picnic in one of the mini Ardsley parks. 
School starts next week, so I get to be lazy the rest of the week...

The holiday break has been really nice. 
I've been staying here in Raleigh for most of the holiday. 
I drove up to the outskirts of DC for Christmas. 
My family and I explored the spy museum and walked to the white house christmas tree. 
Both of which were such a dissapointment. 
Mom and I also went Sticky Fingers Bakery to get some vegan treats. 

Josh and I decided to spend our New Year/one year anniversary in Savannah. 
Josh bought some champagne, an antique-y chair, and a hand mixer for my anniversary present. 
Yes, I'm a nerdy kitchen geek. 
We went to Kai Thai Cuisine for dinner on our anniversary. 
Since I was so hung over from the night before, 
we decided to rent a couple movies and spend a quite night at home. 

Every time I drive up 95, I want to stop at an abandonded playground off the South of the Border exit. 
So, last night Josh and I stopped and had a mini adventure. 
[I'll have to upload pictures later]

This year has been really great. 
I never thought things could feel so right.

This is my dinky christmas tree.
I finally uploaded the other christmas pictures.

I drove up to DC by myself today.
Rilo Kiley kept me entertained as I drove through Virginia.

My birthday is coming soon,
and I almost feel like an adult. 

Visiting DC was great. 
I love riding the metro all around the city. 
My mom and I went shopping on 'black friday' 
We went to the National Building Museum the next day. 
Thanksgiving was different. 
I ate tofurkey and my extended family joined us. 
Normally it is just the four of us. 

The next weekend Josh and I set up my itty bitty christmas tree. 
We couldn't wait any longer to give each other our gifts. 


School is almost over, 
and my christmas party is this weekend. 
It's good to have a break.

Since we won't be together on Thanksgiving, 
Josh and I decided to have our own this past weekend. 
Yeah, we way over-did it. 
Tofurkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, creamed corn, green beans, and mashed potatoes. 
oh, and some dumplings that came with the tofurkey.. 
I didn't like them. 
Needless to say, we ate leftovers all weekend. 


I'm heading to DC on wednesday. 
I have a layover in Atlanta, so my brother and I will fly to DC from Atlanta together.
Mom and I are going to do the whole Black Friday shopping thing. 
I'm definitely excited.

This weekend included dressing up and drinking too much. 
I  finally hung out with Emily and Byron and had a great time. 
It's great finding people you automatically click with.

Josh and I want to travel the states in a VW Westfalia. 
Yes, it has a stove, sink, and bed. 
 

The weekend was great. 
It took me forever to get to Raleigh on friday.
There always seems to be some sort of wreck or horrible traffic when I drive up there. 
Josh and I went on a movie date. 
We saw Evening- it was so dissapointing. 

Saturday we woke up to drive to Asheville. 
We ate dinner at a really good vegan/vegetarian restaurant
and walked around asheville before the show. 

The Smashing Pumpkins were awesome. 
The venue was small so we were really close.

We spent the night at a friend of Josh's house.
In the morning we went to another vegetarian restaurant and ate scrambled tofu, soysausage, and biscuits.

We drove back listening to books on tape.
and ended the night watching Cops.

yeah, pretty amazing weekend.
